Easy Ice question
HI all If I had a bunch of particles shaped as a cone and a way from zero, how would one rotate them from there center using ice. Currently am freezing the ice tree and then rotating them this works, but I would love to know how to rotate a bunch of points in ice. Any ideas would be brill Thanks Ben
RE: Easy Ice question
you could try spin particle or the rotate vector nodes for an automated approach. If you want to rotate each one very specifically in a different way you could have more trouble. no idea about that one. cheers, Andi.

point position and closest point on curev as one vector, then the curve tangent from the closest point and get the cross product for the around the curve bit I think.

Re: Easy Ice question
not quite sure what you're missing from Brad'z vidz. the 'funnel up bit' (I'm guessing you mean the force along the curve rather than around it?) is dealt with in the first 'build force from curve' vid. This one adds the rotational component. Or am I missing the point?

dumb ice question
I've done this before, and I know it's simple, but I cant figure it out right now. How do I link the particle ID to a frame in a image sequence. For example: particle ID1 should get frame 1, and ID5 should get frame 5. Sorry for the rtfm question G

Re: dumb ice question
Also, if your 1500 images are all mixed up (different sizes, different formats etc.) you can create a text file with the extension .scr containing a list of absolute paths an import that as a clip.

ICE question
Hey guys, I need a help. Is it possible to create an ICE tree that checks if a geometry isn't penetrated by another geometry? I have a low poly object, I have a high poly object, and I have a cage object (a clone of the low poly object, but pushed to conform the high poly object). I need to check, if the high poly object is penetrating the surface of the cage, and if so, what amount... If anyone has a solution or idea how to solve this, it'd be really nice...

Re: ICE question
Hello, There are several ways you can do that. Depending on your gemoetry it can be easy to overly complicated :) You can check if a point is inside another volume using the point in volume node, and then use a closest location node to find the distance to the surface. What I like to do though is to test the distance to the closest surface (using a get closest location, or a ray cast towards the normal depending on the cases), and then figure out if the point is on the right side of the surface or not.
